i even started to write a fantasy story, because i enjoy them so. i just really need that creative energy, i can't force it. one of my recent professors told us that while writing a paper, not to edit it as we go along. i'm one of those people who constantly searches for the best phrase as i write; i can't change that habit and i don't prefer to. so, writing for the sake of getting enough words is probably impossible for me.

i get these pep-mails talking about how to add length - mention the smell of the vegetables that the character is thinking about buying, absolutely random unnecessary language like that. i could never do that, because i don't care. so, that kind of writing is officially not for me.

Hey yeah, I know a few people who are entering that. I would if I had the time to but I don't, its near to exam week and I work 3 nights a week and hardly get to update my journal let alone write a story of that size requirement!
